How does your game fit the theme?
I chose an abstract interpretation of the theme. Eggs can be viewed as doors to new life and this is a game all about seeing what's inside each egg/door.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code is from scratch. The art assets were repurposed from another project.

Enjoyable game! It's fun to play. I enjoyed that it felt like a board game with the dice and the way you moved around the board.
A fun little strategy/puzzle game. I kinda bumbled around a bit at the beginning but once I understood the mechanics it was pretty fun trying to decide which chickens to breed. Got a little stuck in a loop of white chickens constantly being produced, but once I figured out that breeding a bird in it's home biome made a pure version it all clicked. There were a few minor UI bugs with dice being able to be dragged on top of each other but all told really slick polished experience!
Neat concept, the instructions sounded confusing but I got it once I started playing. It was tough trying to get new chickens, kept getting the plain white one too many times even when changing biomes. I ran out of moves after 5 turns, the cost gets pretty high when selling chickens doesnt net much.
Fun puzzle/board game!
Really neat idea, nice job. Is it possible to get hybrid species? I was able to get one for each biome and their pure variants, but I never could seem to make a green/blue (etc.) chicken.
Nah there's 2 per biome including the secret exploited tile biomes. Originally I was planning on having hybrids but realized I would've needed to make like 25+ species then
The gameplay is very Innovation. Art is good. Maybe you can polish it by some effect and music so this game can be Great. ^^
Took me 37 turns to complete the game :D
And the game looks amazing!
Nice entry
love the idea. The Feedback Effects were awesome! Felt like a very potent idea for an incremental Game. Potential is definetely there! I encountered a Bug, where i tried to sell an Egg. After draging it back into the basket it vanished and every chicken i tried to place at the location was moved high up like they had an egg below.
Thanks for the feedback! Good to know about the bug, I hadn't seen that one yet.
A simple yet fun game once I understood what I was doing. I was scared I might run out of tiles or get stuck in a spot going into a corner.
Wish it had a leaderboard to drive people to not want to waste turns.
I agree, a leaderboard would be a great addition
Awesome sounds, and loved the top hat on the sales-chicken!
Thanks the sales Chickadee is my favorite too :)
